    Incompressible Flows Through Pipes and Ducts (Internal Flow)

    Uploaded by

    Nikhil Bagri
    The document discusses measurement techniques for pressure, velocity, and flow rate in fluid mechanics. It describes several common devices used to measure these quantities, such as manometers, Pitot tubes, hot-wire anemometers, and obstruction flowmeters. It also discusses hydraulic and energy grade lines and how they are useful for analyzing pipe flows and troubleshooting pipelines. An example problem is presented on calculating flow rates in three connected reservoirs using the concept of grade lines and the energy equation.
